Välkommen till Stockholm! My hometown for the past 40 years and one of my favorite places in the world. I worked as a tourist information officer for the City of Stockholm for many years and today I am a licensed tour guide. Stockholm offers a lot of culture, nature, shopping, great museums, theater, design, history, a beautiful archipelago and the Old Town. I enjoy visiting these attractions and I would like to invite you to join me to discover them during your visit to Stockholm. My free time I like to spend with my daughter, family and friends visiting the archipelago, relaxing and maybe picking some berries and mushrooms. I love downhill skiing, I was brought up in Finland next to a ski hill. I also enjoy reading history books, cooking, visiting exhibitions and flea markets. I am positive and friendly. I enjoy meeting new people and do everything I can to help guests to make the most of their visit in Stockholm. If you are an elderly person or have children with you, no problems, we will discover Stockholm "your" way together. See you soon & you're most welcome to Stockholm! - Licensed Stockholm guide , authorized by the Stockholm City Council - Special Licensed Guide at Stockholm City Hall - The Millennium Trilogy Guide, the Stockholm City Museum - Design lectures at Svenskt Tenn, Stockholm - Member of FSAG, Stockholm's Guide organization - College Haga Helia, tourism and marketing , Finland - Dive Master, PADI, Cairns, Australia - Ellensburg High School, Wa, USA I am not a driver, but I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Mecki was wonderful! She picked us up at our hotel on time and we had a wonderful time seeing the sights in the old town of Stockholm in addition to some not so known sights, such as their artistic and beautiful subway stations!!! She was very knowledgeable about the history, made sure we saw all the sights we were interested in and showed us how to get to where we were going when the tour ended! She even timed it perfectly so we were able to see the changing of the guards at the royal palace!! We only had a short time and were able to book 2 hours with her touring. Not all the tour guides offer this option!! I highly recommend her as a licensed private guide when you are visiting Stockholm!

Mecki's walking tour of Old Town Stockholm was very enjoyable. She patiently answered all my questions about Sweden in general as well as the sights we saw of the area. Her English is very good and she was very accommodating of my slower walk! Our tour was one to one and she was very helpful in showing me how to use the tunnelbana to get to other sights. I highly recommend her tour.

Mecki was a fantastic guide for us in Stockholm. She was very inspiring and her knowledge enormous. She was also very good company and knew how to talk in a pace and a tone to catch everyone .
